    I was a professional dance and physical theatre artist and lecturer, so particularly fit for my age. I had rectal bleeding and was told I had haemorrhoids which turned out to be stage 4 anal cancer. After a colostomy, intensive chemo/radiotherapy I just about survived but over the past 7 years; whilst being very grateful to be alive, I have suffered with a range of complications including a badly herniated stoma, recurrent UTI's and other infections resulting in sepsis on numerous occasions, continuous hypoxia requiring ventilation . Ongoing pain, fatigue and use of large doses of strong pain killers. PLEASE be vigilant about symptoms, especially those associated with haemorrhoids. As with all cancers early diagnosis makes an enormous difference. AWARENESS IS KEY. Take care folks.

      Thank you for sharing! Yes, whenever there is blood on my stool I always step back and wonder what caused it. So far, it's always just constipation. I know when I feel a sharp pain when it goes out. Fortunately I very rarely get them.

      As a fellow dancer my entire heart goes out to you.
      I’m a psw here in Canada (cna) and take care of many individuals fighting a good fight.
      I also have a sister in her 6th year of stage 4 colon cancer and a brother with colitis.
      All that you have been through has been extremely hard.

    I did the bowel cancer screen test (you send in a tiny sample of poop) and blood was detected. I could not see any blood at all. I thought it was a false positive as I had zero symptoms for cancer. BUT Yes I had cancer but it was picked up at stage 1. Surgery only. No chemo, no bag. That little non invasive test, free in Australia, saved me from the grief of chemo and probable death. DON’T wait for symptoms. It’ll be too late.

      I have a dear friend who has just found out she has rectal cancer. She had constipation following following a surgery she had earlier this year, and then soon after that she thought she had a hemorrhoid. When she went to the doctor in the Spring and told them about the hemorrhoid, they just said that that's very typical after a surgery, from the constipation, and didn't do an inspection.
      When she went back for a physical recently, she told the doctor that she thought the hemorrhoid was prolapsed. As soon as the doctor examined it, they knew it wasn't a hemorrhoid and immediately referred my friend colorectal specialist.
      The specialist confirmed that it looked like cancer and the colonoscopy that followed showed it was inside the rectum. She still hasn't gotten the staging yet because the insurance company is taking their sweet time to approve the necessary imagining, but I can only imagine how much better things would be had her primary care provider just examined it in the Spring.
      I know that everyone says this, but this shocking diagnosis could not have happened to a kinder or more sincere person. 😭

    Listen to your body! I had rectal bleeding and mucus discharge that I ignored thinking it was just hemorrhoids or something else. Finally went to the doctor was advised to get a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy found a very large cancerous tumor. I went through radiation, chemo and surgery to have my entire rectum removed. That probably all could have been avoided had I not ignored the symptoms I was having and done something much earlier.

    I have crohn's disease and for me, rectal bleeding was and still is sometimes a common symptom when I'm stressed or in one of the "bad phases". I can proudly say that I had everything that was talked about in this video myself 😂 (no cancer, thank god). The thing that helped me most werent any sorts of meds, it was changing up my diet drastically (so i really felt it, when you said this kind of disease changes your life). The change in diet really safed me. If you have problems / symptoms really get checked out! And if they persist, dont just take meds and hope it gets better this way (most often you only treat symptoms and not the root of the problem, which is a problem), go to a dietitian and get professional help! No meds, no side effects! But take your meds obviously if you need them. Changing your diet is just one really good way of reducing or eliminating the need for medication!

    If your blood is bright red, comes out in clots or is dark, and is not from hemorrhoids, be worried. Especially if you're dizzy, sweaty, and don't feel well.Go to the ER, have your labs checked and if your hemoglobin or hematocrit is low( hemoglobin less than 9 or hematocrit less than 26) you may need a blood transfusion or an immediate colonoscopy to slow and stop the bleeding. I worked on a critical care step down unit as an RN for 18 years and saw this happen many times to patients. If you're vomiting blood, go to the nearest ER and get checked out immediately, ASAP. You'll save your own life in the process.

    I overcame ulcerative colitis by dramatically detoxing and changing my diet. I used to take medicines, but they would only help for short periods of time. Eventually they pretty much stopped working. And so I did this (kind of dangerous) detox, where I lost 15% weight in a week time. I had a flare up only once in the year after my diet change, but have been completely healed for 11 years now.

    I've had ulcerative colitis since I was 20. Anyone with an IBD type condition has a much higher risk of colorectal cancer esp if you let inflammation go on untreated, so do not wait to get symptoms addressed and get colonoscopies regularly (I get one every couple of years) if you have one of these conditions, even if you're young. My last flareup went untreated for three months and I ended up in the ER - I recovered fine with medication and diet changes but take these things seriously. There comes a point where, even if symptoms seem minor, if they persist you need to stop thinking 'I'll just wait a little longer and see if it goes away' and go to your doctor.

    Sphincter vs. rectal bleeding.
    It took me a number of years for me to make the connection. But, over Winter, I'd experience bleeding, sometimes, a lot. Not so much in the Summer. I figure it was from my weight fluctuation, 25lbs. up and down due to activity/inactivity.
    Then, it crept into my thoughts, "Winter ain't producing a lot of vitamin D due to the lack of sunshine on the skin..."
    So, I started taking vitamin D supplements. Well, what do you know! It only took a few days of supplements to bring the bleeding to an absolute halt.

    I had hemorrhoids that were bleeding, so I had a colonoscopy and they said it was just hemorrhoids. Over 10 years later, I was having some bleeding again...bright red, and severe cramping and narrow stools, so I just had another colonoscopy and I found out I have Diverticulosis! Luckily, none of them were infected, but I have to be more careful about what I eat and I needed to increase my water intake. Although the prep is horrible for a colonoscopy, it's worth finding out what's going on inside our bodies! Don't assume it's just hemorrhoids.

    in 2020 i was actually admitted to the hospital for quite the severe bleeding, because almost the entirety of the toilet was caked in blood. The thing is, when i arrived there, and the doctor went so deep he mightve actually found my soul in there, there was no clear wound to be found, as the bleeding had almost completely stopped. We talked again about what kind of blood it was, so i told him again that it was bright red and mostly unmixed with the stool.
    Turns out that while wiping, i had ripped open a blood vessel, which had accumulated quite some blood, which was positioned a few centimeters above it. The remaining wound it left, looked like a tiny little pinhole, which is why my GP thought it was a fistula, but the proctologist did not take notice of said wound because it had become so small by the time i arrived there. It was a pretty weird expierience, and something id definitely not want to do again, but it was a wild ride to say the least.

    There was a story in the daily mail (search daily mail for: Chris Evans Urologist for the article) where a urologist gave advice to a (ginger) guy about how to deal with 'the drip' as he got older. Apparently the urethra develops a slight u bend in it as men get older, below the bladder, causes urine to get trapped there, and causes problems. The urologist gave advice on how to lift this u bend. As this is something that's likely to affect all men at some point, wondered if chaps could do a vid on this?

    I planted a very unusual huge dump and been sitting on toilet for 15mins. After it came out, it was a relief but i already felt like a tear when i walk out. All my strength were gone so i lay on bed for a while and didn't realize i fell asleep. When i woke up it was night already, after dinner it still hurts so i went to bed again and put cold compress on the bumhole(not directly), the frostbite distract me from the pain a little. 2 days after it's still painful, my thought is that it's becoming too serious. I was too shy to go to hospital checkup 😂 so i collect my courage, get some hand mirror and self check myself. It was awfully weird to do it by self, but i did found like a single blister by the hole. I was so nervous, it looks like a parasite that you see on stray dogs 🤮 but then i tried to gently wiggle it out and it fell lol. I was so curious about what it was, so i dissected it and it's not feces nor an insect parasite, it was a bloodcloth i think. But since it was gone, the excruciating pain from moving were gone, and the bearable pain slowly fades after a few days.
    From not on I'll be careful to go take a dump as soon as i feel i want to, so it won't stack so much 😂 and will never sit shittng for too long. 5-10 mins max is the goal.

    I have IBD unidentified as the doctors arent sure which type it is (colitis ulcerosa or chrons disease).
    It is definitely life changing and in active periods of the disease its also very painful.
    People diagnosed with this disease are likely to have some of their bowel removed when (and i say when as the disease progresses and gets worse over time) the bowel tissue gets too damaged at some point in their life.
    IBD is an autoimmune disease, which boiled down is basically just your own body seeing your own tissue as foreign and therefore attacks it.
    Usually the disease comes in periods. Some people get treatment (usually steroids) and are symptom free for years until the disease relapses and symptoms (extreme diarrhea, bloody stools, intense pain, extreme urgency of emptying) comes back once again.
    Ive been symptom free for about a year now, but it can come back again at any time and im really not looking forward to it.
